If youāre still on the fence about AI, you have to take it seriously now.
Butā¦ why?
Always remember that Nobel disease is a thing.
The one I often think about is the person who invented PCR and then later claimed to have had an encounter with a fluorescent talking raccoon of possibly extraterrestrial origin.
Oooh I wish this project a lot of success!
Zed is interesting but the projectās very pro-AI stance keeps me away from it. So a fork without that stuff is great, hope that works out longer-term.
ranked according to how much AI is in your code
Truly the greatest idea since ārank developers by lines of code writtenā.

Yue also shared screenshots of her WhatsApp chat with the OpenClaw agent, where she implores it to ānot do that,ā āstop, donāt do anything,ā and āSTOP OPENCLAW.ā
This is very serious computing and we must all take it very seriously.
āPeople talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model. But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes about 20 years of life ā and all the food you consume during that time ā before you become smart," the OpenAI CEO told The Indian Express this week.
I would have liked to ask back, how much more food does he require? Gosh, someone offer him an energy bar!
What kind of tasks are on the agenda?
Ugh, Iām so fucking tired of this shit.
I can imagine that an LLM can find bugs. Bugs often follow common patterns, and if anything, an LLM is a pattern matcher, so if you let it run on the whole world of open source code out there, Iām sure itāll find some stuff, and some of it might be legit issues.
But static code analysis tools have been finding bugs for decades, too. And now that an AI slop machine does it, itās supposed to bring about dystopian sci-fi alien wars?
Why are people hyped about that?
(Also this poster makes wrong claims about every exploit being worth millions and such, but the rest of it is so much more ridiculous, it drowns out the wrongness of those claims.)
Yesss, and itās still worth playing today!
Even if youāve never heard of him before and know nothing else about himā¦ this short tweet alone tells so much about what kind of person he is.
Very impressed with this comment from the creator of the Zig programming language, regarding dealing with AI slop submissions, and generally about LLMs for coding.
I should look into Zig again! Technically, Iāve always leaned more towards Rust, because I like its more uncompromising approach to safety, while Zig always seemed to me a bit more middle-of-the-road on that. But Iāve been disappointed about how wide-spread LLM usage has become in Rust circles, I fear that its culture might tip over in favor of slop. (But itās not there yet and I hope it wonāt happen!)
Anyway, Iām ordering the āIntroduction to Zigā bookā¦
This could be regarded as a neat fun hack, if it wasnāt built by appropriating the entire world of open source software while also destroying the planet with obscene energy and resource consumption.
And not only do they do all thatā¦ itās also presented by those who wish this to be the future of all software. But for that, a āneat fun hackā just isnāt enough.
Can LLMs produce software that kinda works? Sure, thatās not new. Just like LLMs can generate books with correct grammar inside, and vaguely about a given theme. But is such a book worth reading? No. And is this compiler worth using? Also no.
(And btw, this approach only works with an existing good compiler as āoracleā. So forget about doing that to create a new compiler for a new language. In addition, thereās certainly no other language with as many compilers as C, providing plenty of material for the training set.)
there isnāt a simple solution to this
How about just not creating the problem in the first place. How about that.
This was very enjoyable! Actually was over too quickly, would have liked to hear you two talk about AI stuff more.
When Woke 2 comes
ooh, please tell me thereās a release date already
Thanks everyone for the replies <3 Guess I should make an account there after allā¦ bleeeh :/
Honest question, since Iām not on linkedin (and kinda looking for a new job): does it really help anyone find a job? It has been my impression from the outside that itās mostly empty drivel.
Iām confused that anyone thinks that the world needs another linkedinā¦
Wow. The mental contortion required to come up with that idea is too much for me to think of a sneer.
I used to think that I could avoid using open source projects which embrace the slop machines, but new it keeps getting more and more adoption, including in good and beloved projectsā¦ at this point I think Iāll just have to accept and ignore it, or otherwise Iād have to play endless whack-a-mole with stuff all over my operating systems :(
